Oh right. He'd practically forgotten as he heard a familiar voice call across to him. Before Sootstar had oh so graciously left the Clan, he had assigned him with an apprentice. A sniveling, whiny brat who would just turn into another warrior who, once she made new friends, would leave his grumpy side. From where he stood by the entrance, he watched Morningpaw. While he wasn't one to agree with the tone she spoke in, nor the pitch or excitement, something about her reminded him of his younger apprenticeship days. "Morningpaw," he called out, giving a wave of his tail. "Snakepaw, if it's alright with you I'll take Morningpaw along with us so she doesn't get into any warriors fur here." His yellow eyes were narrowed as he waited for Snakepaw's response. He didn't necessarily want to take her with him, but if he didn't he could only imagine the never ending questions that would assault him upon his return.
Unlike many kits Tallkit wasn't all that open to help, but he guessed if some cat told him to do something he'd do it. If there wasn't really anything to do they could help clean out the dens and get them looking fresh. "Hey Lionstorm why don't us kits help clean out the dens?", he called. He was hoping to be heard. To him it sounded like a good idea. The other kits might appreciate doing it. It was helpful after all.

On a really good stride on here and Barleypaw is really close to getting her post counts finished for her training. If there is anyone who needs a cat to help with anything feel free to VM or pm. I want her to be more active along her clanmates.
Primrosepaw was just being her usual self when it all went down. She was playing, searching pretty things, doing whatever... The sound of commanding voice one calling was quite a surprise to her. She hadn't heard him speak ever since commanding voice two took over and now he was back? For the most part of the meeting, her back was facing the Streastones before she finally turned around curiously, but her ears were perked. She struggled to understand most of what was being said, which gave a strange feeling of confusion and curiousness at the same time, but it sounded like they spoke of something not good. It took the majority of the meeting before she finally got the main issue - had commanding voice two become a not home cat?

Truthfully Gingerfrost was still feeling rather down, which automatically translated into being grumpy and he just... Wanted to ignore everything and everyone. And he did. It wasn't like it mattered anyway, it seemed the only cat he had left in the clan was Lotusheart now - everyone else? Either died or went missing. And as much as he didn't want to admit it, that was the reason for his current state. Yet when the news came of Sootstar's and Stormcall's disappearance, the dire situation, even he couldn't ignore it. Although with a lazy air, he got up dragged his paws over to the back of the crowd to listen, a growing seriousness hidden behind his façade, slowly showing in his expression. Eventually blocking out most sounds he started to think of what maybe happened, or where they may be. It had him miss most of the patrol part although then again it was evident that they'd be sending out patrols and he wasn't put on one of them. As the others were gathering to head of, another area came to mind - he thought it over for a brief moment though without much hesitating then stood up and made his way closer to the streamstone "Lionstorm, Snakepaw" he addressed, looking up to them from his lower position "Maybe you should send out a patrol to scout near the twoleg place as well. It's not uncommon for us to be caught by them, so it might be Sootstar, Stormcall and Sparrowskip's case" his tone sounded no less muttery than usual but he was being serious. Granted, the warrior was aware the twoleg place was a bit far away compared to the borders but it was possible to make a back and forth within a day's notice if they hurried, maybe even less.
Hmm as satisfying as it was to see all the patrols gather and start to leave the immediate ruckus of questions was kind of annoying. Some of the nice cats along with Foxblaze did get a minute grin though. Then there was Kestrelwings question.
"I only assigned senior apprentices to these patrols for a reason however... You are his mentor. If you think Morningpaw is experienced and trained enough to go or you are confident you can protect him sure take him along but she's your responsibility. I wont say no because I dont know your capabilities but youre on some of the more dangerous borders so be smart here."
And another cat.
"Cliffkit if you leave camp in any way right now while its so dangerous out I will personally make sure you dont become an apprentice until you're my age. If you want to help use your sniffer and check the camp again just in case we missed something and Sootstar and the others are still here playing hide and seek or something."
He wouldnt be but it might distract the over eager babies while Snakepaw addressed yet another cat.
"Gingerfrost its possible that thats the case but.... Its rather risky. If they have been captured what exactly can you even do against a twoleg? It just seems like a good way to loose more clanmates to me. Ive never been there though so perhaps I dont have all the information. Lionstorm you've been right? Ill leave it up to you if we should chance sending a patrol there."
Snakepaw had never been out of the territory but to go to the starcave and had only heard of the twoleg place and outskirts through stories all of which did not cast the area in a good light so in his mind it was just too much of a risk and he personally wouldnt endanger the clan by sending them there. But that was just him and fully aware he didnt have all the information it seemed prudent to let a more experienced leader make that call. Not that the whole thing sat well with him and the tom shifted wincing as the movement pulled on the cobwebs (and cut) on his lower back. He'd need to tell Lionstorm about the incident at the starcave because he'd be a kittypet before he let Frostpaw just get away with attacking him. Sure Rainywhisker seemed at least better then her but thunderclan must be a clan of savages to allow someone like her to be a medicine cat of all things.
Oh. She...she could do that! She could use her super good sniffer to look for them around camp! After all, she never specified where she could look, so technically she hadnt asked to go out of camp, right? Bouncing up and down, she nodded frantically and bounded off towards the walls of camp, keeping an ear out for any mention of her name.
Relief washed through his body from ears to tail tip as Snakepaw pointed out that only senior apprentices had been assigned to patrols. The tom nodded towards the medicine cat apprentice before padding quickly over to Morningpaw. "Stay here. Make yourself useful by seeing what else Lionstorm or Snakepaw needs. I will not have my apprentice torn to shreds before we've gotten a single battle training session in," he stated simply, his tone slightly cold before he nodded and turned back to his patrol group.
Berryscorch still hadn't made their way over, and Kestrelwing was beginning to grow tired. "Let's get on with it," he snapped to Fishspeckle, not stopping as he slipped out of the camp entrance, waving his tail for his patrol to follow him. Berryscorch could catch up.
Morningpaw let out a loud, audible gasp as Snakepaw spoke to her mentor, and she turned to him, practically hopping up and down. "Can we?! Please! I want to look for Sootstar and Stormcall! And patrol dangerous borders! I'll be really careful, I promise! You won't even have to worry about me!" Oooo, a super-secret-super-dangerous-super-important mission. Well, not exactly secret, pretty much everyone knew about it - but it would still be secret from the other Clans, right? She wandered over to Kestrelflight to stand beside him-
and then he was gone. Just like that. She practically wilted, even letting out a low, "Awww," as she bent her head to scrape at the ground.

Sedgestorm padded over to join his patrol mates and to prepare himself to leave for Lionsrange with them. He wasn't sure what they'd find there.
He hoped things would go back to normal soon.
